Why learning Tableau is important
Every business organization is trying to analyze their data and arrive at meaningful decision making. When we talk about data, discussion of Tableau becomes inevitable. In this blog, we will discuss why learning Tableau is important to get insights into your data.
There are 3 major problems in analyzing data:
- Data is huge
- Data needs to be presented in a pictorial format so that it is easy to understand and interpret.
- Performance
Applications like Tableau help in resolving these issues.
Tableau can handle large amounts of data. Tableau’s various components help in analyzing the data.
Tableau can connect to any data source. It connects to data as “Live” or “Extract”. The use of the Extracts provide a huge advantage over the live connection.
When using the “Extract” connection, Tableau creates a TDE(Tableau Data Extract) file. This TDE file can contain the full dataset or a subset of data.
- Connecting to an extract is faster than the live connection.
Tableau’s visualizations are awesome. The data is presented in easy to understand tables, maps and charts.
Tableau has huge range of charts available for the user.
Tableau knowledge will equip you in helping the business community in their Business Intelligence and analysis requirements.
